Permanent redirect or other?

Hi all,

I have a site that used to have an index.html page now I have installed an article directory script and the index has become index.php.

I see some crawling errors. I tried to insert a 301 permanent redirect in the htaccess file but the site cannot be crawled.

What is the best way to redirect from the index.html to index.php?

Thanks/Regards

 

open index.html and enter this code :

<META HTTP-EQUIV='Refresh' CONTENT='0; url=http://www.yoursite.com/index.php'>

Code (markup):

chang the domain name .

good luck bro

 

That's good to know. Thanks Qsa!

 

Use this in .htaccess to insert 301 redirect for index.html to index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index.html index.php

 

use 301 redirect for redirecting index.html to index.php, use below code

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.html$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

dont be panic, it will take some to crawl new redirected pages.
